In her new memoir, I Heard Her Call My Name, the writer and professor chronicles how using the gender swap function on FaceApp ultimately opened a brand new life to her. And she tells NPR's Don Gonyea that though there are a lot of complexities to having that kind of realization later in life, there are also a lot of positive outcomes.

The Goods from the Woods - Episode #418 – “Spider Fabuloso” with Babs Gray
In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys are hangin' at Disgraceland Studios with the absolutely hilarious comedian and podcaster, Babs Gray! We start this one off by testing out a TERRIBLE energy drink called "Spider" that's made by a company that also produces a product called "Tickle Water" and a product called "Sketch Cans for Tweens". It's very weird. We then head over to the Balkans where there's a village whose entire GDP seems to be mostly comprised of grifters running Trump-themed scams perpetrated upon unsuspecting American MAGA boomers. We run down our Top 3 dumb brand names and our Top 3 songs that should be made into movies. Eminem's "Real Slim Shady" is our JAM OF THE WEEK! Tune in now, folks!
